FLEXIBLE LOCKING-AND-SEALING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC E05B39/02 G09F3/03 F16G11/04 

FIELD: ironmongery, particularly flexible locking-and-sealing devices including cable cuts as flexible members.

SUBSTANCE: device comprises cable cut having passive and free ends. During device locking free cable cut end passes trough device body to create loop and is secured in the body by means of locking mechanism. Locking mechanism comprises two identical fixing members cooperating with ferrule loaded with locking spring and arranged in body interior surface. The interior surface has flat slanted surfaces adapted to cooperate with fixing members during device locking. Device also has additional fixing means for locking mechanism fixation. The additional fixing means is made as sliding support installed in body interior and loaded with blocking spring. The sliding support is preliminarily retained in initial device position, where the device is prepared for further locking with spring holder. The spring holder is mounted in the body and is transversal to cable cut axis. The spring holder is made as fork passing through orifices made in body side so that the holder may be quickly released after loop having minimal dimensions formation for prior cable cut fixation. Final cable cut fixation is carried out by sliding support cooperation with ferrule. Blocking spring force exceeds prior locking spring force.

EFFECT: increased operational conveniences and increased degree of device tamper protection.
